5962-9800101KUC

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-9800101KUC is a high-speed, hermetic optocoupler designed for military and aerospace applications. It features two independent channels with open collector outputs and Schottky clamping to ensure fast switching speeds. The device supports data rates up to 10 Mb/s and provides an isolation voltage of 1500 VDC. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, forward voltage of 1.5 V, and output current of 25 mA. Timing characteristics specify a rise time of 90 ns and a fall time of 40 ns. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and dissipates 200 mW of power.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction suitable for harsh environments
• Schottky-clamped phototransistor outputs for enhanced speed
• High common-mode transient immunity of 1 kV/µs
• Dual-channel configuration in a single package

Applications

• Military communication systems requiring radiation-hardened components
• Aerospace data acquisition and control circuits
• High-reliability industrial isolation interfaces
• Spacecraft avionics and telemetry systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'KUC' against official Broadcom documentation to confirm the exact pinout and package variant, as military-grade part numbers often contain critical manufacturing details. Ensure that the procurement source provides valid traceability certificates and lot traceability records required for defense or aerospace contracts. Confirm that the component meets all specified environmental qualifications before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing and high-speed digital isolation are mandatory for system reliability. The dual-channel design reduces board space compared to single-channel alternatives. Consider the 1500 VDC isolation rating for safety-critical applications. Evaluate the 10 Mb/s data rate capability against system bandwidth requirements to ensure signal integrity without excessive propagation delay penalties.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 5962-9800 series of high-speed optocouplers manufactured by Broadcom Limited. The series is characterized by its use in demanding environments where standard plastic packages are insufficient. The 5962 prefix indicates a military-grade specification, ensuring strict quality control and performance consistency across production lots for critical infrastructure and defense electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the hermetic seal, 16-SMD butt joint package, and 10 Mb/s speed class. Verify equivalent CMTI ratings and isolation voltages. Cross-reference with other military-grade dual-channel optocouplers from qualified manufacturers if availability is constrained, ensuring all electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.
